Abstract: | Related with the European Union (EU) Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and through deriving a structural model of the allowance price under the assumption of efficient markets, it is examined the extent to which the price variation can get explained by marginal abatement (hereafeter as: m-a.) costs. The model is gradually relaxed by allowing for delayed adjustment of price to fundamentals, as well as by introducing lagged LHS variables. The pattern of results suggests that while prices were initially not driven by m-a. costs, this inefficiency was largely corrected after the accounting of 2005 emissions in Apr, 2006. |
